This Is Your Best Look Yet At The Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV

We’re expecting Rolls-Royce to join the realms of the SUV maker . Codenamed Project Cullinan, the uber-lux SUV, sorry “High-Side Vehicle” as the luxury carmaker prefers to call it, has yet to be named plus all we’ve had to go on in terms of visuals is the . Rendering artists normally do a good job at filling in the gaps, and thanks to Jan Peisert we now have our best look yet at Rolls-Royce’s Bentley Bentayga fighter.

Prices for the ultra-exclusive SUV will be around the $250,000 mark, with most buyers expected to spend in excess of $300,000 once the likes of a Starlight Headliner are ticked off the options list.
